What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth.

I'm a Full Stack Software Engineer with a First-Class Master’s in Mechanical Engineering. My diverse experience spans across the UK and Spain, including a significant role in Formula One. I excel in developing web and mobile applications and back-end data infrastructures, bringing a unique edge to tech.

Currently, I lead the development of an online data platform at Alerion, utilizing technologies like Next.js, Django, PostgreSQL, and GraphQL. My previous roles have honed my skills in client API integration, prototype design, and mentoring students in programming languages such as Ruby and JavaScript.

I am a sports enthusiast. I practice CrossFit, open water swimming and have participated in a number of triathlon and running events. I lead community events where I live in San Sebastián because both personally and professionally, I thrive in roles that combine people, problem-solving, and purpose.

With a strong foundation in technical design and data processing, I have successfully liaised between manufacturers and international clients, enhancing communication and knowledge sharing. I am motivated, team-oriented, and passionate about problem-solving, always eager to learn and grow in my field.
